The Story of Ericka Gilbert

Prologue

My name is Ericka Gilbert. I am Elena Gilbert's ultra quiet twin sister Before my parents died, I sang and danced. I was shy but not when I performed. After my parents died, I lost my voice and love of music

I blame Elena to the point of hatred, Jeremy has always been my favorite. Even though Jeremy's coping method isn't the best, Jeremy is always there when I need him. Vicky and I are best friends. We learned sign language so I wasn't forced to speak. I allowed one year of non interference from me for Vicky and Jeremy. It has only been a

couple months so I know that as long as I help them with their grades they will be fine. I know Vicky and Jeremy won't last, but I also know they'll find their my way eventually. Elena is so quick to try and act as if she's our mom, but I don't want to even acknowledge her. I remember when grandpa (my mom's dad) took us to see an old friend of his. We met Master Yin while Elena wasn't interested and just stayed in the Garden of his house Master Yin agreed to teach Jeremy and I. Dad was really happy since Jeremy never showed an interest for sports. Mom was soon on board when Master Yin promised to have me be Miss Mystic Falls ready for when I was old enough, Jeremy trained and mastered all what Master Yin would teach him in four years. I studied under Master Yin for eight years, all the way until he died a year before my parents. Jeremy and my parents went to the funeral and Master Yin left me everything since he had no children Elena was too focused on boys and cheer leading to care about how I felt. To save everyone the heartbreak I'll start my story from the day I met Damon Salvatore.
